    RIA mag question

    I have several Metalform 9mm 1911 magazines that I use in my Rock Island. They work well.

    Best places to shop online

    It seems like I get the best buys at local shops - especially when shipping is considered. If I can't find it locally, then it usually comes from Midway.

    Left powder in powder measure: Use it or pitch it?

    I only use Bullseye for .38 and 9mm, so the powder lives in the hopper of the Autodisk when its not in use. When I'm ready to start loading again, I top off the hopper and get going. I haven't seen any abnormalities in the plastic after a year and a half.

    What can I use to practice trigger pulls?

    How about snap caps?

    Flash hole too small

    Once again, my cheapness has gotten me more than I bargained for. My initial thought was that $15 per 100 would beat $42 + shipping per hundred. When I add in the tools to ream the flash hole and swage or ream out the crimp from the primer pockets, its not so much of a bargain any more...

    Flash hole too small

    Thanks! I didn't know there was such a thing as a flash hole deburring tool. I'll check my local shop tonight, and if they don't have it another Midway order will be on the way shortly.

    Flash hole too small

    I bought a bag of what was labeled "6.5x55 Sweed" cases at a gun show last week with the intention of renecking them to make 7.5x54 MAS cartridges. My first problem is that about half of the brass was mislabeled and was really 8x55. :cuss: Of the remaining 50%, about 2/3 of the cases have...

    Range Construction Question

    The NRA has some good resources available for range construction. It might be worth giving them a call. If the range is open to the public, there might also be some grant money available to help defray the costs involved.

    22 pistols (here we go again!)

    How about a S&W 22a?

    Ordering from Atlantic Firearms

    That 3% covers a portion of what it costs them to process a credit card transaction. It seems like discount and low volume retailers are doing this more and more as margins tighten and credit card companies do their best to squeeze them dry. If the convenience of using a credit card is...

    Its not the rifles... the guns were doing their part. :D

    Ever get hosed on a used gun?

    Unless you're more willing to misrepresent your defective gun to a pawn broker than someone on the internet, what's the difference between selling to a person and trading to a shop? :confused:

    Is this normal for a revolver?

    Were these used on the former BIL, or the gun? :rolleyes:

    Scope rail loose on new rifle

    You can snug them up, but a bit of thread lock (red or blue) on the screws will help keep them from working loose when you start shooting. I'd be willing to bet the scope wasn't zeroed in from the factory or at the gun shop. Its likely that it wasn't even bore sighted. And if it was, it got...

    Marlin Lever Rifling Questions

    If its a Microgroove, it will say so on the barrel. As long as the bullets are hard enough for your load, lead bullets should work, but others have reported both good and bad results.

    Dodged a Close One With the Wife

    TimM, I've got plenty of room in my safe (too much?). You can stash some here if you need to. :rolleyes:

    Shooting high

    Take a look at the book that came with your new gun. If it didn't come with the manual, Smith & Wesson has it available online. It will tell you all the basics like what the sight picture is supposed to look like and how to adjust the sights. When you're aiming, are you keeping the back...

    Shooting superstitions?

    I wear ear plugs and safety glasses to keep any of the bad luck from getting in my eyes and ears. ;)
